We also analyzed the relevance of tumor stage, and found that TREM2 expression significantly correlated with tumor stage in thirteen types of cancer, including BLCA, BRCA, COAD, ESCA, KICH, KIRC, KIRP, LUAD, mesothelioma (MESO), READ, STAD, testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT), and THCA (Supplementary Figure 1). Here, TREM2 is linked to neoplasm.
